Full content management systems to fit your newspaper's website needs from the ground up. Customizable, easy to use, automated and functional.

This has been our philosophy in creating websites for newspapers throughout the United States. Our staff has worked with large newspapers in the Phoenix-metro area to small newspapers in the small towns of Vermont to bring papers of any size and circulation to the forefront of the web.

A newspaper website design and programmed by Maine Web FX is much more than just a few pages slapped together to get the news online. We take the time to look and evaluate your needs. We understand some of the very real hurdles newspapers are facing as the medium defines itself online. Our experience is strong in all aspects of the newspaper industry.

Each website we create is unique to its parent newspaper. The process is threefold.

1. Evaluation: Our design and programming teams take an in-depth look at your newspaper to figure out what design elements and programming features are needed to help your succeed online.
   The following is taken into account:
   
   • Circulation
   • Average newspaper size
   • Advertising market
   • Features and information
2. Needs: The findings from the evaluation are considered and suggestions are made to explore areas where the website can improve the function of your print edition. This includes the following:
   • Ways to expand advertising
   • Suggestions for greater reader participation
   • Cost cutting measures to allow your website to be an expansion of your print product
   • Revenue suggestions, such as allowing for newspaper products and items to be sold online
3. Implementation: Your needs and goals are put into place
   
   • The website is first designed
   • Programming features are added
   • E-commerce (if wanted) is integrated
   • Testing and launch of site

Please keep in mind that the programming aspect of the site is very flexible and easily adjusted at any time. In addition, since the site will allow you to have full control over all aspects of the design, changes can be made well after the initial launch of the site. We will also be available for techincal support for the life of your site.
